And Meli wouldn't have thought of that runaround that Foster played on Thursday night if you'd sat him in a room all day with 'runaround' written all over its walls.'"
I'm surprised the Man of Steel hasn't already been given to Foster after that. Meli will just have to console himself with being better at every other facet of wing play possible. I know the fact that Foster did a runaround makes all of this redundant of course. |

Swift a better option on the wing than Gardner and Meli? What on earth gave you that impression from today? |

| Quote: SaintsFan "
To be fair is you insist on desperately looking for reasons as to why Foster should still be at Saints you've got to expect people to think your a bit of a loon. To the majority of us it was pretty plain to see he was 'limited'. He is a world class kick no doubt and he has decent ball handling but he was a pretty weak runner , didnt have a great deal of pace wasnt that elusive (I mean look at Percival's footwork!!) and looked iffy in defence. Now I'm not a Meli fan but that doesnt mean we should have kept Foster.
His comments on the fans are just what you'd expect and mentioning Saints and Hull is just done to endear him to their fans a bit more. Good on him if it secures his future. Look at Matty Smiths comments on joining Wigan as another example - a Saints lad who played for Saints and would still love to be at Saints I'm sure but there is no way in his first press conference or in a news article that he would say anything other than how amazing the Goons are.
P.S. Run arounds are pretty easy to do so nothing much to fuss about

I was a bit gutted when he left, he was one of my favourite players and I just didn't think he had a fair crack of the whip. Oh, how we could have used his kicking at times this season! Looking at our wingers now though, you can see why he was let go as he wasn't going to be selected much. Hope he does well at Bradford or wherever else he ends up though!

In a nutshell. It's a salary capped sport and he would have been a pointless retention IMO. We have plenty of other, better options in the backs. |

Shame on you all for biting. No one in their right minds would consider it a mistake letting Foster go. Clear fishing expedition.

Are you saying saintsfan is trolling? In breach of the AUP?  |

Trouble with Foster was he used to tweet mildy arrogant tweets on twitter. Once he'd committed such a terrible cardinal sin as that his stay at St Helens was doomed. Nobody can expect to live through such a terrible scandal as tweeting mildly arrogant tweets in St Helens and expect to stay. Grown children were crying in their prams over it. I'm only surprised he managed to get out of the town without having his home and business fire bombed. To this day I feel personally scarred by his mildly arrogant tweets.

Hope Foster re-signs for us. He's been very decent indeed so far. He may not be the quickest but he's got a good rugby brain and decent core skills. I can see him moving to fullback or centre at some stage in his career.
If you've already got better than him then that's great for you. We certainly haven't (we only have 2 wingers in our squad).
As for his attitude he's done nothing but impress since he came to Bradford.

He was a centre in the junior teams I think. |

Obviously. It had nothing whatsoever with him simply not being good enough to nail down a first team shirt .....  |
